What do you use your S40 for — does anyone else have an S40 as their only vehicle? I use mine for commuting, urban cruising, scratching (well not so much of that, but only because I'm old), touring, supermarket shopping and transporting awkward loads as needed (eg my banjo).
I have a Ventura rack with either a single, or double as required, 44 litre Ventura luggage bag. For touring I carry a 5 litre jerrycan to compensate for the small tank (and I no longer need to carry chain lube or chain adjusting tools; love that belt drive!). And I always have a few occy straps with me for dealing with short distance odd loads.
I ride daily, all year round. I live in Canberra, Australia where it can get up to 40° C at midday in summer and down to -8° C overnight in winter. I realise a lot of forum members live in much colder places than this, and I do struggle in winter. But being retired I no longer have to ride early in the morning, and I admit to having heated grips on the bike.
My S40 does it all! (Well almost. Disclaimer— although I don't have a car, my wife does, and on very rare occasions I'm allowed to borrow it)
